Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005122640A1] The invention relates to an audio encoder and decoder and methods for audio encoding and decoding. In the encoder an audio signal is split into an anechoic signal part and information regarding a reverberant field associated with the audio signal, preferably by a representation using only few parameters such as reverberation time and reverberation amplitude. The anechoic signal is then encoded using an audio codec. At the decoder the anechoic signal part is restored using the audio codec, and the restored anechoic signal part is transformed into the substantially original audio signal by applying reverberance according to the information regarding the reverberant field, preferably by convolution with a room impulse response generated on the basis of the reverberant field information. According to the invention the audio codec involved needs only be capable of encoding anechoic audio signals, thus solving the problem of parametric audio codecs providing poor performance on reverberant audio signals.
